Hi
I'm looking to replace the wooden windows of my house with uPVC.
I understand that the downstairs windows will need lintels installing. At the back, their are brick arches - am I right in saying that they act as lintels?
Upstairs, the windows have a single row of upright/soldier bricks above them. As far as I can see they are resting on the frame/a wooden plank.
Will the upstairs need a lintel to support these bricks or do they tend to be allowed to rest on the PVC window?
Many thanks for any pointers. Just want to be sure I know what to expect when getting quotes/seeing if people know what they're doing.
Many thanks for any help
